The nervous system during COVID-19: Caught in the crossfire.
Nick R NataleJohn R LukensWilliam A PetriPublished in: Immunological reviews (2022)
SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes coronavirus disease (COVID)-19, has become a persistent global health threat. Individuals who are symptomatic for COVID-19 frequently exhibit respiratory illness, which is often accompanied by neurological symptoms of anosmia and fatigue. Mounting clinical data also indicate that many COVID-19 patients display long-term neurological disorders postinfection such as cognitive decline, which emphasizes the need to further elucidate the effects of COVID-19 on the central nervous system. In this review article, we summarize an emerging body of literature describing the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on central nervous system (CNS) health and highlight important areas of future investigation.
